Why is everyone assuming that Stanza will stay broken - any release of IOS5 is just a beta - and lots of apps are broken in IOS5 - that's why Apple (and other companies) release betas. You might as well worry about the sky falling - why not wait until the formal release and then see is Stanza remains broken (and whether it will be fixed)

I'm looking for a decent ePub reader myself. I've been trying to like iBooks, but it wastes SO MUCH space. It doesn't even have a full screen reading mode like most other reading apps have (that is, remove the status bar and screen controls). Plus, it's a bit slow.

Finally found a nice alternative to Stanza - on Android that is. Sadly, even with the number of ebook reader apps available for the iOS platform, I've found none that works as well as Stanza for my use.

Ugh, I really wish the other VideoLAN developers would have overruled that prick.

What "prick" are you referring to? It seems clear that the GPL licence under which the software was developed is incompatible with the AppStore's terms of service. The FSF have acted entirely properly in notifying Apple of this.
